Now to the main event: imaging and counting! I counted all of the larvae in Plate 1 collected yesterday. It took me much longer than I expected, mainly because I was trying to figure out how to work the dissecting scope while also taking pictures for future use. My count data can be found here.

There were lots of larvae that exhibited a normal D-hinge shape, but there were also some that looked like peanuts! I recorded how many of these deformed ones I saw as well.
